Hello from Fort Wayne

FWRealtor · 02-08-2009

I have been viewing the classifieds over the past couple of weeks and readings some post and thought I would join in. I am a Realtor in Fort Wayne and surrounding county's. I am in the market for my first gun, due to some of the new work I have been doing. I have been providing my Real Estate knowledge to several banks and doing Broker Price Opinions for them on pre-forclosed homes. This requires me to drive by subject homes and take several pictures and at other times I am required to enter these homes and take pictures and assess the amount of damage and repairs needed. Most times these are abandoned homes and I have no idea what I am walking into, or who may stop by while I am in these homes working. Loosing a home to foreclosure is a very stressful and personal matter and I could find myself being the target of their anger, even though I have nothing to do with their present circumstances... So to say the least I would feel much more secure if I had a weapon at my side. My only experience is shooting a few boxes on a couple of occasions at H&H with my brother who has a Colt 1911. I think a .45 is overkill and am considering a 9mm for its value and afford ability. I am very picky. I love the looks of the Springfield XD's and other comparable models. What are some of your thoughts? Thanks for having me.

The 9mm platform will be adequate; more important, as some others have said, is to get some training with whatever firearm you choose!
